132 E 19th Street #7F

An exquisitely unique offering like no other! Perfectly situated in the heart of Gramercy on the famed, ‘Block Beautiful,’ one of the most picturesque blocks in the city, this carefully curated two-bedroom home offers soaring 14-foot ceilings and its pièce de résistance: a wall of oversized floor-to-ceiling clerestory windows with panoramic views of the neighboring Gramercy Park townhouses, the Empire State Building, the Midtown Manhattan skyline, and beyond. Enter via a semi-private vestibule and into the home’s light-filled entry gallery. Perfect for showcasing art, the gallery leads to the palatial living and dining area, with its sweeping ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, Juliet balcony, and a wood-burning fireplace featuring a spectacular 14th-century French mantle. Perfect for entertaining, the penthouse’s kitchen is adjacent to the living and dining areas, offering appliances from Miele and a distinctive barreled ceiling. The apartment features two corner well-proportioned bedrooms, as well as a sunny windowed bath. Pending board approval, there is also opportunity to install your own washer/dryer or add a second full bath (please see our alternate floor plan). Completing this rare offering is a spacious loft space, accessed via a retractable stair, that could be outfitted as another sleeping area, den, or additional storage, if needed. Perched atop a beautifully designed Tudor-style building built by Frederick Sterner, 132 E 19th St was once home to artists, actors and creatives at the turn-of-the-century. Today, the boutique elevator cooperative is meticulously maintained. Found in the heart of Gramercy only half a block from Irving Pl, the building is centrally located near the neighborhood’s best restaurants and shopping, and convenient to all major thoroughfares and subway lines via Union Square.
